yeah, i bought it after several of the retro collectors i follow on youtube recommended it, i figured that if guys that usually talk about games think it is that good that they have to recommended it in their videos, then it is worth a shot, and for some strange reason i find it easier to read english books then norwegian books :lol:


Wow, it must be good then!

Keep seeing Beanie Babies in the charity shops so now I'm just gonna collect the ones I find :lol:

Brilliant! I can't top that! Would you mind givin' us review. I quite fancy that one myself! :)

Anyways - decided to replace my work car this week. The ol' workhorse was starting to run a bit slow after 60k with no service, She's been great but unfortunately started endangering my life at motorway slip roads and roundaouts! - Sludge has probably finished off the Turbo.

The sound system in me newer motor was absolute pony. So, decided to get everything upgraded. For anyone who cares about this type of stuff, I got meself a right ol boy racer Alpine enclosed sub (Alpine SBG-1244BP), a decent Alpine amp (Alpine MRX-V60) and I'm waiting for a new Eonon Head unit (D5107) to arrive. The head unit's a bit of a budgeter but it gets decent reviews.

Considered upgrading me door speakers as well but couldn't be 4r5ed with all the wiring so I'll just see what the standards sound like with the amped head unit.

I'm not really 'in to' thumping bass and all that type of 'badass' stuff, but after being spoiled by the Logic 7 setup in me beemer, I really couldn't live with the standard Vauxhall set up in me Astra on long journeys.

Technically didn't pay for it as it was free but just got my upgrade iPhone 4S 32gb and can finally retire my 3G. It's been a faithful, reliable friend these past 3 years that's for sure :) Now though, I'm instantly in that mode of being terrified of damaging my new and rather expensive phone :lol:

I'd take a photo but...erm...it's my only digital camera and well, it's an iPhone...once you've seen one, that's pretty much it :lol:

collecting cans like those can be fun, have seen some cool halloween fanta cans and such during the years, i keep one of each type can that i have bought just for fun, limited or not, i like to have them on just to see kinda the evolution of the art on the cans, only limited edition drinking related i have is a cola glass bottle from christmas 2004 that i have and are still unopened, the only year i saw they had a limited edition bottle in my country, so i had to have, and they havent had any since then as i have seen
